523 S.E.2d 388 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1999
Graham Clark was convicted of violating a Cherokee County ordinance that required him to control soil erosion on his property. He appeals, contending that the county ordinance was not properly proven.
Because this court cannot take judicial notice of a county ordinance, the State must introduce the ordinance into evidence, normally by certified copy.
Because Clark omitted the trial transcript from the record, we are unable to consider the merits of his claim and must affirm.
Judgment affirmed.
